Bulletproof Coffee is a unique drink that has gained popularity among followers of the keto diet and proponents of intermittent fasting.
This coffee, developed by Dave Asprey, combines black coffee, unsalted butter (or ghee) and MCT oil.
To prepare this drink, brew a cup of black coffee.
Then add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Or use ghee if you prefer a milder taste.
After that, add 1 tablespoon of MCT oil.
Blend all ingredients well in a blender until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Bulletproof coffee is usually served hot.
Health Benefits
Due to its high content of saturated fats, this coffee provides a lasting feeling of fullness and stable energy levels without sharp fluctuations in blood sugar.
The fats from the butter and MCT oil promote a state of ketosis, helping the body use fats as a primary source of energy.
Many people report improved cognitive functions and mental clarity after consuming Bulletproof coffee.
Consumption During Intermittent Fasting
From the perspective of classical fasting, any amount of calories (even from fats) can interrupt the fasting process, especially if the goal is to keep insulin levels at a minimum.
However, since Bulletproof coffee contains only fats, it does not cause a significant insulin spike and can help maintain a state of ketosis.
Many supporters of the keto diet and intermittent fasting believe that this coffee does not violate the fundamental principles of fasting and can even help prolong feelings of fullness and improve concentration.
Thus, it is often used as an “allowed” aid during fasting, especially if the goal is to maintain ketosis and stabilize energy levels.
If strict fasting is important to you, it’s better to avoid any caloric beverages. However, if the goal is to maintain ketosis and energy, Bulletproof coffee may be a suitable option.
